Very young when she arrived. Never tried a case before. Still hasn't. Daddums is a powerful, evil, full of retribution type pol. His label or party designation matters not. Power is all that matters.

(28,017 posts)7. hm. 3 out of 6 governors?
for a stretch, 1.5 city counselmen a year? J-cubed?
It must be the latter.

(11,064 posts)8. The Feds seem to be the ones who have been interested in our Governors.
IMO, even the Feds seemed to be actively interested in Blagojevich only after he tried to stick up for some laid-off workers and said the he would order Illinois agencies to discontinue conducting all business with the B of A.
Has she prosecuted any of the Aldermen?
If so, (1) I missed that news item and (2) whatever Alderman was prosecuted must have failed to do what the powers-that-be wanted.
